a fire raging out of control consumed me, ravaged my soul burnt out, charred, left a shell nothingness, i live in a private hell. ~ Tara ~ "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |

Tara, this seems harsher, more angrier than your usual poems. It makes me wonder of the motive. The words mercilessly achieve their aim. This is truly frightening. And frighteningly well written. ilph. |

Tara, this rages like a bushfire consuming all in its path. Great poem, hope its not real for you. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Sven... thank you for your lovely words. True, as with anything I guess, new life always tends to form... within and without. Thanks! "A poem should not mean, but be" - Archibald MacLeish |

It takes a lot of talent to fill four lines with so much emotion. YOu really take your reader for a ride with this one. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

Tara~My inflamed friend, with every fire there shall come some rain. I hope by now, that you're only smoldering. Ok enough with the metaphors. I hope that things are looking better for you! I know how you feel. I think I feel this way more often than I should. But anyways, this poem was wonderful!! Love Always ~*~Jessica~*~ p.s. An Aussie huh? Sydney? I have relatives there. I was there about 3 months ago. It's my favorite place, I love to go there and see the differences between there and here. ~*~ :) If aLl My FrIeNdS JuMpEd OfF a BrIdGe, I WoUlDn'T JuMp WiTH ThEm BeCaUsE I'd Be At ThE bOtToM tO CaTcH ThEm. :) ~*~ |
